Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award for a natural resources project titled "Inventory of Amphibians and Reptiles at Colonial National Historical Park." It is explicitly not a call for applications and not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it functions as a public transparency notice that the NPS plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency has already identified the partner it intends to support and is publishing the notice to document that decision in the public record.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0110 and falls within the discretionary funding category, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the funded work, which can include collaboration on project design, coordination with park staff, assistance with access and permits, and joint oversight of methods and deliverables. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the work centers on an inventory effort focused on amphibians and reptiles (herpetofauna) at Colonial National Historical Park, which suggests field surveys and documentation intended to improve knowledge of species presence, distribution, and possibly habitat associations within the park.
The notice states there will be one expected award, with total estimated funding of $93,800. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $93,800, which effectively signals a fixed anticipated award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The CFDA listing includes 15.945, tied to Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with research and inventory activities that support NPS stewardship and resource management decisions.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on August 4, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 13, 2015, and an archive date of August 14, 2015. In the context of a notice of intent to award (rather than an application solicitation), these dates generally reflect the public notice window rather than a period for submitting proposals. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in a separate eligibility text field; however, because this is not an open competition, the practical takeaway is that the opportunity is not available for new applicants to pursue.
For questions or for assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Patrick Reidy, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-5949, with an NPS email referenced in the original listing.
